Can you get more than one game?
Does it work with non-US credit cards?

It's $10 so I imagine as long as it's less than $10 total it'd be free.
Probably not. I see some comments in that thread that says US only.

Thanks to Cyan anonymous benefactor, here are some impressions for Pony Island:
The story: Hmm. Without giving away too much... You start out playing a dead simple run-and-gun.
Then it gets weird.
Then it gets WEIRD.
Then it tries to get weirder, but you're already complacent at the level of weirdness by now so it feels kinda average.
Then it gets weird.
Then derExperte shows up to make a cameo and talks to me while I'm playing.
Then it gets weird.
That....about sums it up. If you like weird surreal/meta/break-the-objective games, you'll like this.
The graphics: Mostly super-basic images, kinda like what you'd play on a mid-1980s PC. There are points where it breaks into late-80s or Amiga-style graphics, and a few points of realism in that clean Unity style. If graphics are important to you, this isn't the game for you.
The audio: Almost none to speak of. One small musical ditty and lots of an irritating hum to build tension.
The gameplay: As I said, it's sort of a break-the-objective game. If I had to group it into a single genre, I'd say "puzzle." There are lots of secrets to be found (I've only done one run and found less than half of them,) and finding most of those secrets requires a lot of doing stuff that doesn't progress the game, so ... it's almost like break-the-objective-which-was-breaking-the-objective-in-the-first-place. You get me? No? Well that's okay.
The length: The first run, according to Steam, took me 2.7 hours. There's a bit of replayability if you want to try to get all the secrets. So a pretty quick game.
The verdict: An interesting game. Glad I played it. If you get the chance to play it, do. Mind you, there's another game I recently played that's a puzzle game, that's $5, that takes 2.5-3 hours to play, that has "overwhelmingly positive" reviews on Steam just like Pony Island does, and that's The Room. Pony Island isn't as good as the Room, but I've always preferred my games to be more...conventional. Pony Island is far from conventional. So your mileage may vary.

Looks like I've been hit by the extra verification from Amazon. I suspect no free Prototype 2 for me. 
Amazon Germany has the same offer. You get 10. This was actually already available here a few days ago and today for another time.
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00ZSLMDHE/?tag=80086-21
but they got rid of his face in 2
I forgot about that!
It should work with non-US credit cards. I have read that spanish people were able to buy Diablo III among other digital games.

They check your order after 2 hours or something. Not worth it.
All this just to try ZombiU.

Seems Ghostlight Ross is trying to make it to TGS '16
https://twitter.com/Ghostlight_Ross/status/752521219036053507
Hope he can make it, even though his chances appear quite slim.

They are great games and in my opinion Remedy has never done another game that even came close to them.

Max Payne 1 is kind of crap though.

Be careful when cancelling the Audible account. I defaulted to the Australian Audible that claimed I didn't have an account/free trial. Had to override the country redirect to go back to the US where the trial was only with the US Audible and then cancel it there.

Not going to start of by betraying Alice, despite her ridiculous design
Tizoc

Lotus was a much better character than Alice mainly due
to Alice not doing much in VLR, from what I remember
the game freaking KNOWS when you're going to do something merely from a gameplay standpoint. IT KNEW, IT FUCKING CAUGHT ME REDHANDED

Humble Assassin's Creed Bundle
Humble Call of Duty Bundle
Humble Final Fantasy Bundle
Humble Windows 10 store Bundle
Humble Indie Bundle 17
Any of those would suffice. It will probably be nothing tho.
I'm actually more hyped to see what tomorrow's Legendary Bundlestars bundle turns out to be.

Oh it's ten bucks credit. That's not really a loophole guys, it's their promotion. They know you can get it and cancel.
Not sure if I should get Prototype 2 or use it on something practical.

and I had lost hope for Texas on Steam
It's been a week, Valve really doesn't care anymore.

Cool. I believe the DRM-Free version was in a Humble Bundle in the past. I wonder if folks get a Steam key from it.

I'm always hopeful of the next "Humble Jumble Bundle", but I'm fairly sure that it'll be a while before that's due.
